Eric and Sandra, introduced themselves, at the August Meeting, and said they
had something to tell me. After briefly listening to their story, I made
arragements to meet the couple who witnessed the unusual appearance of the
mysterious ‘Flying Triangle’ here in East Yorkshire, this is their story.

“At about 10:30pm on the evening of the 3 August, 1996, my wife and I were
travelling home along the A1035, which runs between Bridlington, and
Beverley, East Yorkshire,” said Eric. “To the North-West in the darkening
sky, I suddenly saw a Large TRIANGULAR shape, perhaps half a mile up in the
sky, and roughly five miles away. The shape had three intense white lights
at each angle, joined by a thin electric blue/white line joining the
extremities. The shape was several hundred feet high and a perfect triangle
shape ( Drawing above supplied by witness ).”
“I had never seen anything like this before.” Said Eric.
I pointed this out to my wife and we were both entranced. Sandra said: “The
lights were almost Halogen bright.”
“The light remained static for a few moments as we drove slowly towards it.”
She continued. “Suddenly, the ‘Triangle’ (FT), moved several miles in the
blinking of an eye, stopped momentarily, then moved off to re-appear
alongside us, but probably half a mile to the north of our position.”

The light remained motionless for a second or two. By this time Eric and
Sandra had slowed the car down to get a better view of this strange aerial
phenomenon, in fact they had wound the window down to see better.

Sandra said: “when we wound the window down, the first thing we noticed was
the intense and complete silence. There was no noise from the ‘Triangle’
what so ever. There was a feeling of peace about the object-not at all
frightening-almost reassuring.”
Eric again took up the story: “Suddenly, the light then flashed and
reappeared almost on the eastern horizon and then it finally disappeared.”
This strange craft, had crossed the horizons in a few seconds, stopping
enroute four times. At all times, it remained a perfect triangle shape, but
the thing that really sticks in the mind is that the triangle flew point
upwards.

I asked why it had taken so long for them to come forward with the above
information.
Eric said: “ We are both members of an historical re-enactment society,
called ‘The Sealed Knot Society’. We spend a lot of our time re-fighting the
English Civil War. We were in fact on our way home, after taking part in a
meeting, further up the coast. We were in fact still dressed in our period
costumes, can you imagine the look we would have got if we went to the
Beverley Police Station dressed like that! At this point, I agreed they
would have been laughed out of the Police Station. Then, I thanked them for
letting us know about the above events, but, had to explain to them
that after such a long period of time, it would be to late to follow up the
case, and come to a successful answer to their sighting.

Even so, we can still add their details to our list of sightings in the East
Yorkshire area.
